' This invention is an im rovement'u on to the mold disclosed in my said prior patcut. This mold isconstructedin five main pieces, two upper side pieces or sections 11 and 12, and two lower side pieces 13 andl l, and a T-shaped base piece 15. The upper side pieces 11 and 12 are rabbeted to form the upper part of the mold cavity and the lower pieces 13 and 14 are spaced apart a 1 distance equal to the width of the combined rabbetsof the upper pieces alongside of the tongue of the T-shhped base piece; which extends upward between. the lower side pieces and forms the bottom of the mold. To limit the length of each mold cavity, I

provide in the rabbets partitionpieces 16 riveted'on the upper side'piece 11 and similar partition pieces 17 on the side piece 12, and these partitions extend down to the top of the T-shaped base piece 15 and fit tightly c in the cavity "formed by the rabbets tolform the endsof the mcld.

The lower ide pieces 13 and 14 are secured to the tongue of the base 15 by the clamp- Eng bolts 18, which pass through holes in -5. the lower side piece 13 and in the tongue and screw into the lower side piece 14;; Draftpins 19 may be employed tobring the holes in proper alinement. The upper'side pieces 11 and 12 are'clamped togetherby 40 bolts 20, which pass through apertures. in the upper side piece 11 and screw into the upper side piece 12. To permit relative longitudinal adjustment of these upper, side pieces in orderto vary the width of the mold cavities, the apertures in the upper side piece lLare elongated as shown. The up per parts of the mold are clamped to the lower parts of the mold by the usual vertical clamping bolts 21, which pass through similarly elongated slots between the upper side pieces 11 and 12 and screw into the base 15.[ Washert 22 close the 11 per ends of the slots for the bolts 21 an servei as the upper clampin means and the base 15" serves as the lower clamping means, thus providing a strong and COHVGHlGl'lt; moans for clampingthe parts together vertically and leaving the base piece 15 integral, because of the fact that, while the holes" for the clamp bolts 21 cut throughthe'tongue ,or stem of the T-shaped base piece 15', the

lower part of this base piece is of sufiicient width to receive and bridge across the bolts 21 which serve as clamping means. A

c5 tongue 23 on the upper side piece12, fitting 1 members placed 'together on edge inthebot-' its adjacent end partition in a longitudinal "groove in the upper side piece 11,'keeps the parts in correct vertical alinement duringtheir adjustment, and

the partitions-16 and 17, extending down between the lower side pieces 13 and 1d also serve as guides to keep the upper side pieces lIl accurate lateral alinementwith the lower side pieces. I I

In the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the drawings, I employ a very thin sheet metal frame composed of one or more parts and shaped to confine small or frag-J mentary diamonds to the desired portions of the bottom of the mold cavity correspomling to those portions of the cutting edge of 8Q the tooth in which the diamonds are to be .set.

The illustrated mold is adapted to mold teeth for circular saws and hence the edges of the teeth are molded to, an arcuate shape; and the mold is adapted to simultaneously mold in each mold cavity two teeth in end to end relatiomtlie teeth being out apart, transversely after being taken out of the mold; and, therefore, each half of the bot- 9Q- tom of each mold cavity is of the arcuate shape of the edge of a tooth, or, in other words, the bottom of each mold cavity forms longitudinallytwo similar arcs meeting at the middle of the bottom. 5

The end edges of the cutting faces of these 5 teeth are usually milled oil or provided with V-grooves to, accommodate rivets which pass through the same blade in frdnt of the beveled edges of the teeth and lock the teeth in the blade, and to keep these edges free of diamonds in order that they may readily be milled oif, the retainin frame is so shaped as to exclude diamon s from those portions pi -the teeth. The embodiments of "my invention illustrated in Figs. 1 .to 6, inclusi-ve','comprise frames shaped t6 form fou'riitf'an'sverse partitions and portions 'cotiperatingwith the side and end walls of tlie mold cavity. to hold the partitions in p ace. I p "As hown inEig'sJl and-K1, the tongue; of the T-piece 15 has shallow cut-out 'portions in 'its top edge-to form the bottom of the niold'ca-vities, and the retaining frames are substantially of-a height equal to the depth of these cut-out. ;portions-,; so that, when the frames are in place, their tops aresubstantially in,.t h.e plane of thentop edge In the embodiment ot my invention illustrated in Figs. 1 and2, the frameconsists of two similar fiat and verythin sheet-metaltomfof "the mold, and having :ontwardly bent fportions at their middle portionsand 'en'd' portfions which cooperate to form two end partitions 24 fand two middle partitions 25, each middle partition being oined by; a central lon- 13 sill formed and that the. two halves gitudinal rib 26 composed of she two thicknesses ofthe sheet metal. The length of the frame is the some as that of the mold cavity and the partitions are of the width of the mold cavity, so that the frame fits snngly in the bottom oi the cavity. The members are bent so as to form the end partitions a distance from the end of the mold equal to the distance that the edge of the tooth is grooved, and the middle portitions are separated double that distance, so that. vmen the teeth are cut apart at the middle each tooth will have its end partition the proper distance from its edge. Tlnis the frsine'serves to partition oil a portion at the center and each end of the bottom of the mold cavity.

The Sillilll diamonds are placed loose over the bottom of the mold cavity {LS shown in Fig. 2 on the two portions 24 between each middle partition 25 and its respective end partition 2i, and are excluded from the spaces 25 between the two middle nsrtitions and from the spaces 24 outside the two end partitions. To revent the diamonds from floating out of place when the molten metal is poured into the mold, a. Wire screen 2. is

laid over the frame with its ends clamped.

underneath the partition pieces 16 and 1?, there being sufficient clearance between the ends of the partition pieces and. the top of the T-pieoe to receive the ends of the screen While tightly clamping the screen. The mesh of the screen is suiiiciently fine to prevent the diamonds from passing through. As shown in Figs. 1* and at. another screen :28 may be placed on the bottom of the mold cavity underneath the frame, the function of which is to raise the diamonds slightly oil the bottom and permit the metal to better flow around them and thus obtain a better setting for the dianionds. The screens and the frames partially fuse and partially be come welded into the edge the teeth. as

the metal hardens. It is manifest that the casting, instead of being out apart at the middle to form two teeth as alcove oesc shed, may be used as one tooth, in which case-the middle portion between the two middle titions may be milled out to for. n Waterspecs. l

Znthe ii'icdili atio-n shown in F 5 anti. 8, the fres iscomposed of two similalr halves 2%: to a shape i t. the reverse those shown in Land 2, a ll is man fest. that the frame could b joined together if desired. Itwill h stood that the diamonds which in time hose into the above described remining frames are preferably of polyhedronal shape with many cutting points so that. they .ms y. be cast in any one of various positions;

but. that small liaipieces of diamonds must beset on end with their cu ting point down and. held in that position during the molding in Figs. (1. 7 and 10 I have shown means for positively gripping and. holding such that diamonds. consisting of one or more coiled f }iIl')--% ion spring members, the springs being; round as to leave room between the successive coils for the insertion of a dismond which is firmly grasped and held by vthe compressive tendency of the spring. In

the construction shownin Fig. 6, two such spring members 31 cooperate to accoinmodate one central row of diamonds setwithin the successive adjacent complementary loops, as shown, and if desired, there may be two enter rows, one set. outsideof each spring member. The end partitions comprise rectangular frames and the central partition is formed by a somewhat larger rectangular member 33 (shown -.in detail in Fig. 9)., set in the center of the bottom of the mold cavity.

In the construction shown in Figs. 7 and 16, a single larger spring member 35 is one ployed having a diameter substantially the Width of the mold cavity. The end partitions comprise two rectangular U-shsped members 34: held in place by. their friction against the side walls, the whole frame being shorter than the mold cavity and, since it is designed for the molding of a. single tooth, it is placed in the center of the hat-tom, leaving; a substantial portion of the end of the tooth free of diamonds. In this construction as shown in Fig. E10. two rows of diamonds are set, leaving thecenter substantially unoccn oiecl, andnn o blade in which such teeth aroused, there areoccesionolly placed teeth cost; the construction of mold shown in Fig; 6, so that the middle row ofdia nionds in. the letter teeth will,saw one any I portion. of the out not operated upon by the middle oiilie former teeth.

hing an .etesl hardens, it shrinks, and the down into the cut-out portions of the top of the T-pieoe, either with or Without a Wire screen 28 first having been laid on the hottom of the cavity, the diamonds are then either scattered loose over the portions of the bottom of the cavity between the end partitions and their adjacent middle partitions, or, if flat diamonds, are set into the successive places provided for them. The screen 27 is then laid on and the rest of the mold secured together with the ends of the screen 27 clamped between'the top of the T-piece 15 and the bottom of the partition pieces 16 and 17. The mold is then ready for casting the teeth by pouring in molten.

. steel in the usual manner.
